Hi Simon!!! nice bargain finds and they all seems to be in good conditions too..... that Simple Red album was so big back in the 80's and still sounds cool. Congrats on ACDC's "If You Want Blood...." that's an awesome, but to short live recording. cheers and be well

Hi Simon. If I search 'Digital Dale' it doesn't come up with any of your videos. If I search 'Vinyl Dale', there's no problem. I personally think Vinyl Dale name better reflects the potential audience for your channel. It doesn't matter if you mostly show CDs; it's still all music-related ... There are a couple of records here that I recognised (from your livestream probably) - Del Shannon for example (very nice) ... The Simon & Garfunkel album is fine for a debut. It has the original acoustic version of 'Sound Of Silence', before the producer added electric instruments without telling S&G and the record label released it (again without telling S&G) ... Can't go wrong with Dexys Midnight Runners.

What's the next channel name change? ... Streaming Dale😮

Great vid Simon..Elton John looks bizarre on that album cover..check out his performance of rocket man from glasto a few years ago..amazing and will going at 80! Love the sound of china crisis too, love Christian aswell as the main hits obviously! Long live vinyl Dale!

Some nice pick-ups Simon,hope you are all well.

Both The Siouxsie & The Banshees & Blondie are excellent Best of albums 👌.

Come on Simon! flaunt the imperfection is a classic .. I think it will make my top 100 of all time. When that series starts

Excellent pick-ups Simon. The Elton double album is a steal at a tenner. I only have it on CD and would love it on vinyl as I think it's his best double comp... you are a jammy sod getting the poster with the Blondie album (I've already contacted 'Elmut to snaffle it lol)... I do have the UK copy of Del Shannon's Drop down and get me. It's a good album but if you don't have Rock On from 1990 do seek it out as it is brilliant and also has Tom Petty's invlovement.

do i spot 3 copies of tom petty full moon fever? do us charity shop hunters a favour and donate a copy aha 🤣

Still cataloguing mine so no idea what they are worth. Some really cool items there mate, well not take that, but I'll excuse you that one. 😆

It seems kinda funny that you just recently bought some more. Stillif you ripped them to your computer then it doesn't matter. If it makes space for dedicated artist releases then fair play to you bud. my main thing with these now is best ofs or sound tracks. Never gonna have time to listen to them all again I doubt,

Some nice compilations there mate. Perfect for sticking on the old stereo and just leaving to play. Probably have given the soap one a miss though, lol. Not a massive fan of Bjork but seen her live and she was pretty good. Need the Skunk Ansie mix of Army of me on cd single. Nice to see some Lego.

Hi 👋 Greetings from New Zealand. I have a large music collection. I liked the Cars debut album in 1978. But after that they became boring. I like Blondie. I had three albums of their back in the day. Parallel Lines 1978 , which contained the massive hit Heart of Glass , Eat to the Beat 1979 , and AutoAmerican 1980. Pet Shop Boys put out good pop music in the 1980s. But i dont like their new music. From Carl.

When you look on discogs and order that record label by catalogue number there are quite a few numbers that are missing from the ARHSLP series, not just 012. Why don't you add it to discogs? Somebody needs to be the first person. 013 is Tears for Fears -The seeds of love but its an incredibly scarce record looking at the number of people that own it. Maybe they just didn't press many for some reason.

Dude that album is a complete mystery 0% on line information, the only information I can give is that Miles showell has not worked on this album (big chair) but he did do the hurting half speed tho so maybe that label got mistakenly applied to the wrong album??

I should really start looking at 7" singles i always tend to pass them buy, thanks for sharing 👍

Prices sneaking up these days. My usual is 99p or £1.99 for a 7", maybe a bit more if its special. I have that Talk Talk but I don't think it has the foldout, I'll have to check. Looking forward to the Baccara needle drop 👍

Any news on the album.. Songs from the big chair T. F.F

Hi Simon. The Talk Talk single looks great. I love it when bands make an effort with their singles covers. The fan club box has space for the other four singles from the same album. One of which is "is it any wonder" . Nice finds. Cheers Mike

Very strange. You’d expect a big release like that to be all over the internet. There is a big counterfeit industry in Germany with loads of shops being stacked with counterfeit records. They aren’t normally shrink wrapped or have hype stickers though. Usually the counterfeits are on discogs too. That’s really weird.

Love a good challenge Simon, will have a look when I get home. Sometimes if you type in the search what you are after and just go to ‘images’ you sometimes get a pic of what you are after. However I tried this and a pic of your video came up 🤣

I think the copy of Songs is probably slated for release next year & was shipped accidentally. It will be the 40th anniversary in 2025.

Hi Simon, I love a good mystery. I've been searching all morning and drawn a complete blank. But I do have a couple of suggestions. Have you tried posting a question on a Tears for Fears fansite? And have you tried searching using the matrix number. Best of luck mate.

have you tried ebay?

I noticed "The Hurting" was pressed last year, so maybe its too new. or you can find it at discogs under : Mastered At Abbey Road Studios - Half Speed Mastering (which it isnt, so either its brand spanking new and no one have registered it yet, or its a bootleg) Good Luck !

Nice one. All my most expensive records were bought without me knowing much about them. It was only when i checked Discogs that i had a shock.

thin lizzy live and dangerous is a classic live album great find

Did I miss something? What happened? Who called who what?

Interesting selection Simon, but aren't you afraid that your local house thieves will know exactly which LPs to steel from you when they break in? Assuming you keep them in alphabetical order, you've basically given them a road map to your treasure.

It’s sad to see all these people in the VC making videos about how expensive their records are! You mentioned the only reason you bought one of those albums was to watch the value increase then sell it to make money Music is meant to play not retire from!!!

My most valuable album is an original stamped promotional copy with press kit & marble vinyl of Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush. $250 US. Five confident penalties by England on Saturday. I'm so used to them crashing out on penalties so two away ....

Tears for fears album, songs from the big chair might be common in the U.S. but a great album. I dont know in the U.K. if it is rare..You have many nice albums. The most expensive album i ever bought was Wings over America. A 3 album set for 30 U.S. Dollars. Thanks for the fine video...Take care..

Great variety Simon LOVE that wings best of! Everyone had a copy of that David Gray album growing up. Beatles 1 fantastic..the biggest joke about now and then it would probably now go on that!! Sad to me!!

Digital Dave 😂....when what?

Do you still listen to them?

There are some great vintage Classical record! In the UK, the Decca is king!

Hi Simon!!! when you have a big collection like yours, it's a good idea to do a purge just to have more space in your music room and get rid of cd/vinyl you might have as duplicates or never listen too. cheers and be well

All film & TV soundtracks should be kept for resale in the future. They tend to be very limited releases, therefore valuable. They become hard to find after the 1st year. I know it very well, i' enjoy collecting soundtracks, but some that i really want badly have disappeared from the market completely.

I understand you dont need to take shit from anyone. I know the importance to defend yourself and your country.....Sure some people from the U.S. suck...................Alot of good points with your co host...Call it the music community

Simon, you seem like a good fellow. I am from the U.S. and dont dislike anyone from th U.K. Even invisible Ray, He is smart anf funny and he chooses to put down certain people but i dont dislike him at all. A good friend of mine is Joe Mayo who i cohosts on his livestream...You might know who i am and in the past Mayo was a target....but still i like Invisible Ray because he could be fair with things...........We should all get along, life is too short....thanks for the great stream and take care.

I don’t blame you for purging all those comps, there’s an absolute ton there! I bet there’s some repetition of certain tracks across many of those CDs too. I think you’re doing the right thing getting shot of the bulk of those, but any CDs or sets you’re in two minds about, my advice would be to hang on to them, for the time being at least

Oh keep the Nows. They should all be on a shelf in order! They're lovely to pick out at random and just listen to. The random budget ones can go unless any of them have particular sentimental value or a especially good tracklist. Dunno if you now stream or have everything ripped to MP3 but worth pointing out that 90s dance comps are sometimes worth keeping because they have the correct hit versions on, often missing from streaming

A purge is always good IMO. You can keep your collection in more order this way & not have so much filler. We all know our collections inside & out as to what’s getting played & what’s not. Good luck 👍🏻

I don't buy compilations anymore because the resale value is so low so whatever you can get today is better than getting virtually nothing in a few years. C'mon England !!

Wish I was there. I have more compilations than I have regular artist albums. Too many artists are only capable of one or two good songs. Their albums are lacking, some really stink.

Nice stuff...You might feel sorry later that you let them go.......take care...Remember you never have too much music..

Nice finds. I picked up that Stars Of Soap CD over 20 years ago from a local Newsagents.
